Bounded birationality and isomorphism problems are computable

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let X,Y be two irreducible subvarieties of the projective space mathbbPn, and dgeq1 an integer number. The main result of this paper is an algorithm to construct {�f explicitly}, in terms of d and the ideals defining X and Y, a quasi-affine algebraic variety parametrising the set of all birational maps f from X onto Y which can be extended to a self-rational map of mathbbPn of degree leqd. Based on this result, we propose an approach towards the rationality problem (see Section 3 below), solve it for some simple cases (varieties of general type or curves), and state a rough strategy for reducing it to some simpler cases via Iitaka's fibrations. We also prove similar results for the case f is a dominant rational map, regular morphism, isomorphism or regular embedding. Similar results are valid for varieties over an arbitrary algebraically closed field, and also for maps on non-projective varieties.
